My practice is - Add the buidings from imagery, generally with building=house and building=shed - Add address info from a survey, either with field papers + pen or geotagged photos - Add other interesting features from the survey (paths, mailboxes, etc) - Trace out the landuse, generally as larger than single blocks, but using separate polygons for areas split on major roads This generally involves an initial imagery-based mapping for buildings, trees, paths, and other stuff visible from imagery, a survey, then a final mapping using survey notes + imagery. It helps having buildings mapped already when collecting addresses. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
